Here's the opposite point of view, coming from someone who tips very well. When me, my wife, and my 3-year old son go out we always tip very well. If there are no issues I'll generally tip 25%. If it's exceptional I'll tip up to 30%. But I deduct 5% on my tip if...

1. We order an appetizer and it comes out WITH our dinner/lunch. What's the point of having a ton of food on my table all at once?

2. We sit there for 15-20 minutes before anyone even approaches our table.

3. A table near us sits down 15 minutes after we do, gets their appetizer, and then main course while we are sipping our drinks trying to entertain a 3 year old.

4. Our waiter or waitress apparently takes a vacation to Tahiti while we've been done eating for 30 minutes and trying to entertain a 3 year old.
